This was a perfect house for my kids and grandkids. the outdoor space and view is lovely---we ate our meals out there mostly. Conveniently located near Desert Hot Springs and stores, etc. yet it feels secluded. It's a fun-funky house at a great price. We'll probably stay again.

The host and amenities were great, but it was the house itself that was so wonderful. We saw so many birds (hummingbirds, finches, doves, a really cool roadrunner) and bunnies and even a couple of coyotes hanging out on couch in the morning looking out the window. The house is halfway between high desert hiking (Morongo, Pioneertown, Joshua tree, 29 Palms…)and Palm Springs (the art museum was super, Indian Wells, Whitewater canyon) and Palm Desert offers numerous mineral hot springs offering day passes. And then there is the house, which is sort of magical all by itself. Lovely. Thank you.

Well, what a great review. Best ever. I feel the same way!! spent a lot of time there and fed the roadrunner a small raw meatball. They love them. Coyotes? That means that they are hungry and if any cats or dogs around - that is their food. I love wolves but not coyotes. Please do come again. I have 2 little old ladies that have booked in 2027 for 91 days!!! That happened once before. Thanks again for the great review. Jane Davis/Owner

The house is beautiful… However there is mold. In the very front utility closet. And the owner is in denial. You can smell it in the air vents. And when I have addressed it with the owner she says I am lying. I have pictures and I have submitted them. Mold causes respiratory infections, sure as pneumonia and other dangerous health conditions. Trying to come to a resolution.
Mold, she said it’s a stain. There’s a shower directly behind this closet.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Jan, 2026
We are certainly not in denial and take all of our guests feedback very seriously. We had a mold specialist out to the house immediately to assess this claim. The house was fully tested and this area was confirmed to be an old stain with no remnants of mold or mildew. This utility closet is also detached from the main house and is strictly used for mops and vacuums and other cleaning supplies. Upon further inspection, we discovered that this guest had a party at our house and many of our neighbors have since called to inform us of the amount of cars that were at the house throughout her stay. Appliances were damaged and the house was sadly left a mess. We have since had to file a claim for the damaged appliances. We appreciate all reviews and would encourage anyone looking to rent from us to look at the previous reviews.

A Lovely Quiet Stay

This is our second girls trip to the round house and we simply love it here. There is lots of space, so you can either nap in your room while watching the critters outside or you can do puzzles in the main room gazing through the panoramic window. Super relaxing. (Also if you have time, hit a hot springs spa and the Cabot Pueblo Museum.)

About the host

Hosted by JaneTess Davis

Host profile image
At age 18 I read the Adele Davis book 'Lets Eat Right to Keep Fit.' That was 60 years ago. That was my bible. I have been on the path to health and nutrition ever since. Too many people today encourage diseases by their poor nutrition and by overeating. Today we MUST supplement our nutrition with appropriate vitamins and minerals because our many foods are lacking those essential elements that we need to sustain a good long and healthful life. Desert life fits right into a healthful way of life. Lots of new changes. This beautiful Glass House is my RETREAT.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the gardens on this 1.2 acre property. The Round Glass House is a dream come true. Wild life is abundant. When I stay here I go nowhere else. I just sit and look at the beauty and the squirrels, chipmunks, quail, roadrunners, cottontails, and an occasional coyote. Night sunsets with bright stars!!! Shining all over the universe! Also have a wonderful manager Alex Terraza who can be called at any time.

What makes this property unique

Only 6 blocks to the famous Spas of Desert Hot Springs. Walking trails, hikes, 45 minutes to Joshua Tree, golf courses, great restaurants, 15 minutes to Palm Springs. The house is equipped with everything. Just bring yourselves. We have a new DVR which makes it easy to turn on the TV. Record what you like and watch later at your convenience.

At night the lights go on in the front and back gardens automatically. It is a light garden show. Sit outside at night and you may think you are in Paradise!!!
